Remember at the npvy that night Y ou and me, we had a fight; but the band, they played our favorite song, and I held you in my arms so strong. (Jon Bon Jovi) Dazzling ladies dressed in black satin and gold taffeta stepped out of long, sparkling limos while dashing gentlemen in deep black tuxes and crisp white shirts lent helping hands. The cool couples floated up the carpeted lobby stairs of Stouffer ' s Hotel in Crystal City to the 2nd floor ballroom. They were met at the Have a Coke and a smile ...

One Over Our Shoulders O ne single day exploded with much antici¬ pation. It was gradu¬ ation. From the very first day of the first six weeks, students felt the symptoms of sen- ioritis. The seniors be¬ came allergic to homework, although they knew every grade affected their Glance G.P.A. Almost every thought they had per¬ tained to graduation. Those thoughts were of FREEDOM and get¬ ting to that freedom was very frustrating. Senior Brad O ' Neal commented, Up to my senior year, I had felt it would be forever until I graduated, then, when I finally was a senior it seemed as if all those years had flown right by. Graduation was also a time to get together with friends and relive the memories. Senior Bill Whitehurst remem¬ bered, The group I hung around with had always been close throughout all four years of high school. but on graduation day, we got really close. It was like all the best of those years wound up in one day. It was incredible. Only a few minutes more! Sen¬ ior Cara Sullivan is fidgeting with anticipation about receiv¬ ing her diploma. The last few minutes before the ceremony ended were judged unbear¬ able by all seniors. Dressed to kill! Senior Shaun Murphy is on his way to the ceremony. Since everyone must dress up, there was a rare opportunity to see him wearing something other than jeans. Free at last! Seniors, Bill White¬ hurst, Brad O’Neal, Damon Thomas, Pat Radoll, Chuck O’Brien, and Niles Chura are just glad it’s over; especially since that means it’s time for BEACH- WEEK! Student Life
